; PRESS WELCOMES CABINET. 'Received May 26, 10.55 p.m. London, May 2G. ■ The newspapers generally welcome 'the Cabinet. ' The Morning Post says the coalition is a great experiment, but it must be made a success. It it fails, the country ■will be bankrupt of resource. It is paramount that its obligation is to uphold the Government, even at the expense of tolerating errors which at other times would invito censures. The Daily Mail thinks Mr. Lloyd "George's appointment tftll satisfy the icountry. If Mr. Balfour's appointment .(deprives the country of Lord Fisher's services, it cannot be regarded as good. The Times welcomes the Department of Munitions, but regrets the Cabinet 5s confined to party leaders. There Bhould be a larger element of men whose eervices to the Empire have Jain outaide domestic controversies. | Received May 2fi. 11.55 p.m. London, May 20.

The nation will res cind readily to all that the nio-t resolute "leadership can demand. The Chronicle says Mr. Balfour is a Brilliant man in the wrong place. The • crisis arose between brilliant politicians and the country's great sailor ami the nation will be shocked and a-tnunded to find a politician remains. Lent ilaldane'3 departure is the real wejilroniiijr Of the National Council. Sir Edward Carson's appointment is a d"p!'>i-;ihlo scandal.
